Okey, first of all. This is my version of the song (made acoustic / easier)
and perhaps it dosen´t match at 100% of the original. However it´s a
great song and the versions of it i found on the internet was a bit too
bright for my voice to keep up with, so i made a tab myself. The only
thing that could be tricky is the pre-chorus, it can take some time to get
the rythm right there, however the song is otherwise pretty easy.
Feel free to mail me forcorrections etc at: ola_1376@hotmail.com.
Enjoy :D

For soloing or riff / fill-making i suggest the G-major scale.

Remember when I dove into the ground

Baby, you are the weapon I choose
D C
These wounds are self-inflicted

One more thing I’m addicted to
(play verse)
With each scar there’s a map that tells a story
What a souvenir of young love’s like
Jumpin out an airplane right in a tidal wave of
(play pre-chorus)
An ocean
Of emotion
My heart rips me wide open

Play the chorus over and over, and just go with the song like:
